I realize that's not usually the case. I'm just reading about the benefits of coconut water and they're amazing. I'm trying to figure out if I can order some online or if I need to get actual coconuts. I'm not sure if the packaged products are going to have the same nutritional benefits or not. If anyone has any experience with this, has good links, lives in countries where this is commonplace....... I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.

Packaged coconut water is not good as fresh, but they are OK in case if the fresh ones are not available to you.
You can find this coconut water packages (usually 24packs in a card board box) are available at Indian Grocery Stores. They are costly.
The green coconuts in which you will get the healthy water are not easy to open.
Please feel free to ask / e-mail if you have any doubts about this.

I don't like the taste of coconut water, I think it is an acquired taste, but it is full of enzymes and electrolytes, it's nature's Gatorade.
You should get it straight from the source, I do think that the coconut water I've had must've taken flavor from the packaging, now that I think about it that might be why it tasted sort of metallic...

It way better fresh.In mexico and el salvador they will just cut open coconuts in seconds.It tastes a lot better too. packaged will still be okay but not as good as freshly made ya know and they might add sugar which isn't good,i hope you enjoy the benefits of coconut water.

A lot of the cannned coconut milk is not 100% coconut milk so check the can and see what the ingredients are. If it is 100% coconut milk then it's just as good as the fresh stuff, and a lot easier than cracking open a coconut.

truthfully no longer - the coconut water interior the coconut will lose nutrition as quickly because it fairly is processed into that neat kit and stamped with a use via date 12 months away.

I agree that nothing bottled or canned is as good as fresh.
Once you get the hang of opening a young/thai coconut, it really is easy. They do get expensive though.

nothing that is bottled/canned is as good as fresh
by taking juices us to 120-140 degress to pastuerize
they also kill almost all the enzymes we want from them
that benefit our bodies
love my juicer!!!!!!
